The Israel Defense Forces has informed the family of a Palestinian terrorist that their home in the northern West Bank village of Rummanah is slated for demolition.

Yousef As’ad al-Rifa’i’s family is given the chance to appeal the demolition order.

Al-Rifa’i is one of two Palestinians who are accused of carrying out a deadly axe attack in the central city of Elad earlier this month, in which three people were killed, and several others seriously hurt.

During the Palestinians’ arrest, al-Rifa’i confessed to committing the attack.

The family of the second terrorist, Subhi Emad Sbeihat, will receive a similar notice in the coming days.
